hawk yessiree or huge deficit a huge deficit how can you possibly say that enormous defense budget in which opens of a trillion dollars is going to every single year has nothing to do with our deficit or should be told you're going to do so now and in fact i thought you were spot on when you were saying earlier you know about the fact that the if that the effect that the defense spending has on the economy obviously you know we have to look. at it obviously there are things that can be cut but the idea that we don't need the capability to protect ourselves and to protect our friends is absurd and remember too and i know you want to make another point the most expensive thing is people who are irreplaceable you take a sergeant who's been in for fifteen twenty years if you take a navy seal or any of these people that we've trained and they're ready to go you can't replace them the way you can replace a tank and they're probably fifty sixty percent of our defense budget i would say that the best thing to do is not put them in a situation where we're going to have to replace that james so
